Crimes of Violence

David Ruffley: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department 
	(1)  how many and what proportion of incidents of violence against the person resulted in (a) no injuries, (b) a minor bruise or black eye, (c) severe bruising, (d) scratches, (e) cuts, (f) broken bones, (g) a broken nose, (h) broken or lost teeth, (i) concussion and (j) facial or head injuries in each police force area in England and Wales in each year since 1997;
	(2)  how many and what proportion of incidents of violence against the person involved (a) a knife, (b) a hitting implement, (c) a glass or bottle, (d) a stabbing implement, (e) a firearm, (f) a stone or stones, (g) a syringe and (h) another implement in each police force area in England and Wales in each year since 2008;
	(3)  how many and what proportion of offenders involved in violent incidents were recorded as having been under the influence of (a) drugs and (b) drink in each police force area in each year since 1997.

James Brokenshire: There are two main sources of official statistics on crime in England and Wales; the British Crime Survey (BCS) and police recorded crime. The information requested is not available by police force area from the BCS; and police recorded crime data, which is available at police force area level, does not generally provide the level of detailed information requested.
	Estimates for England and Wales of the number and/or proportion of violent incidents from the BCS since 1997 for (a) injury sustained, (b)weapon used and (c) where the victim believed the offender(s) to be
	under the influence of alcohol or drugs appear in the annual statistical bulletin ‘Crime in England and Wales 2009/10’ (Tables 3.02, 3.09 and 3.20), a copy of which is available in the House of Commons Library.
	Figures for the number of offences recorded by the police involving firearms (excluding air weapons) by police force area appear in the publication “Homicides, Firearm Offences and Intimate Violence 2009/10” (Table 2.11), a copy of which is available in the House of Commons Library. The Home Office has collected data on selected offences involving the use of a knife or sharp instrument via a special additional data collection since April 2007. The data for actual bodily harm (ABH) and Grievous bodily harm (GBH) offences in England and Wales involving a knife or a sharp instrument for 2008-09 and 2009-10 appear in “Crime in England and Wales 2009/10” (Tables 7.13 and 7.14).
	The additional information requested is not available by police force area from offences recorded by the police.
	Figures from the police recorded crime series for England and Wales since 1997 for all violent offences (including violence against the person), appear in the annual statistical bulletin ‘Crime in England and Wales 2009/10’ (Table 2.04).

Third Sector: Home Office

Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 24 March 2011, Official Report, column 1218W, on third sector, what information her Department holds on the distribution of grants paid to charities that her Department monitors.

Damian Green: The information held by the Department includes the name of the body receiving the grant, the purpose of the grant, the amount of the grant and the period of time for which the grant is paid. Additionally
	the Department monitors the achievement of outcomes for which the grant was provided. This is standard information monitored against all grants paid by the Department irrespective of type of recipient.
	The above information could not be provided for those charities receiving grant from the Department without incurring disproportionate cost, as the Department's accounting system recognises charities within a greater grouping of over 300 not-for-profit organisations.
	As well as charities (organisations defined by and registered with the Charity Commission) this group of organisations includes benevolent or philanthropic institutions and not-for-profit social enterprises.

Audit Commission

Andrew Bridgen: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government at which restaurants in London meals have been paid for using public funds by the Audit Commission in the last 18 months.

Bob Neill: This is an operational matter for the Audit Commission and I have asked the chief executive of the Audit Commission to write to my hon. Friend direct.
	For the interests of clarity, the meal with the Chief Secretary to the Treasury was under the last Administration.
	Letter from Eugene Sullivan, dated 3 May 2010
	Your Parliamentary Question outlined above has been passed to me to reply.
	Audit Commission staff regularly stay overnight in London while attending meetings at the Commission's Millbank office, or
	meeting with clients, including other inspectorates, government departments and representative bodies, in the London area. The cost of evening meals are incorporated into .the hotel accommodation invoices and we are unable to extract this information without incurring disproportionate costs. We are able to identify a list of payments made to London restaurants where groups of staff have eaten outside of the hotel or where hospitality has been provided to other inspectorates and government departments and the Government Procurement Card has been used.

Civil Servants: Pensions

Gregg McClymont: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office when he plans to provide further information on proposed changes to the ownership structure of My Civil Service Pension.

Francis Maude: On 12 April I announced that we are working to support the management and employees of
	My Civil Service Pension to create a mutual joint venture. Since then considerable work has been taken forward and following an extensive programme of engagement with employees over the next few months, I will provide further information on the ownership structure of My Civil Service Pension.

Radioactive Waste

Caroline Lucas: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what quantities of operational (a) low, (b) intermediate and (c) high level nuclear waste have been created to date as a result of the UK's civil nuclear power programme; and what assessment he has made of the volumes of decommissioning waste that will be created from (i) the existing nuclear programme and (ii) any future new build programme.

Charles Hendry: The United Kingdom Radioactive Waste Inventory is currently updated every three years with the most recent update published on 22 March 2011. The inventory describes the stocks of radioactive waste and radioactive materials held in the UK at 1 April 2010 as well as those that are predicted to arise from the operation and decommissioning of current facilities in the future.
	The inventory includes wastes produced from a number of programmes including the generation of electricity in nuclear power stations, the associated production and processing of nuclear fuel, the use of radioactive materials in industry, medicine and research, and from some military nuclear programmes. The following table sets out the waste volumes resulting from these programmes, stored in the UK at 1 April 2010, as well as estimated arisings from current facilities in the future. The table does not include waste which has already been disposed of. Further information is available in the inventory reports available at:
	www.nda.gov.uk/ukinventory/
	
		
			  Stored waste at 1 April 2010 (m   (3)   ) Future  arisings (m   (3)   ) Total (m   (3)   ) 
			 Low Level Waste (LLW) 66,000 4,360,000 4,430,000 
			 Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) 94,300 192,000 287,000 
			 High Level Waste (HLW) 1,620 -601 1,020 
			 Total 162,000 4,550,000 4,720,000 
			 Notes 1. Future arisings of HLW have negative volumes. This is because Sellafield has reported future arisings of HLW to show that the volume of accumulated waste (liquid plus vitrified product) will fall as liquid waste existing at 1.4.2010 and forecast in the future is conditioned to a vitrified product. 2. HL W is the product of reprocessing the spent fuel from current reactors. 
		
	
	In terms of the amount of radioactive waste that would arise as a result of a future new build programme this would depend on such issues as the number and the type of reactors. Based on an assumption of a new build fleet comprised of four AP 1000 reactors and four
	EPR reactors operating for 60 years and generating 10GW, disposability assessments undertaken by NDA suggest that the estimated amount of intermediate level waste could be of the order of 25,000 cubic meters and an estimated amount of spent fuel of about 20,000 cubic meters. Based on the same assumptions, the low level waste management company, LLW Repository Ltd, has estimated that approximately 80,000 cubic meters of LLW might be produced.

Employment and Support Allowance

Stephen Timms: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions 
	(1)  what estimate has been made of the number of recipients of contributory employment and support allowance in the work-related activity group for (a) with and (b) without one year time-limiting in force in each financial year from 2011-12 to 2015-16;
	(2)  what estimate has been made of the proportion of contributory employment and support allowance recipients in the work-related activity group who will be affected by a one-year time limit.

Chris Grayling: As part of the Welfare Reform Bill, we have set out our intention to introduce a time limit of one year for those claiming contributory employment and support allowance (ESA) and who are placed in the Work Related Activity Group (WRAG).
	The following table shows the estimated future recipients of contributory ESA in the Work Related Activity Group and Assessment Phase with and without time-limiting in force. Assessment Phase cases have been included as the legislation intends for them to be eligible for time-limiting if their duration on contributory ESA is 12 months or more. Figures have been rounded to the nearest 50,000 claimants and are based on Budget 2011 forecasts.
	
		
			 Contributory ESA caseload in the WRAG/Assessment Phase With time limiting in force Without time limiting in force 
			 2011-12 400,000 400,000 
			 2012-13 350,000 600,000 
			 2013-14 400,000 800,000 
			 2014-15 50,000 900,000 
			 2015-16 200,000 900,000 
		
	
	The legislation intends for all recipients of contributory ESA in the WRAG to be eligible for time-limiting after 12 months. It is estimated that in steady state, without time-limiting, around 77% of contributory ESA claimants in the Work Related Activity Group or Assessment Phase would have duration of 12 months or more. However, latest estimates suggest that of those affected by the proposal to time limit contributory ESA, around 60% are expected to be fully or partially compensated by income-related ESA, so will retain entitlement to ESA.
	More information is available in the ESA Time-Limiting Impact Assessment published on the Department for Work and Pensions website, at the following link:

Jobseeker's Allowance

David Ruffley: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many payments for jobseeker’s allowance were terminated (a) as a result of employment and (b) for other reasons in (i) each London borough and (ii) the UK in each of the last five years.

Nick Hurd: I have been asked to reply.
	The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
	Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated May 2011
	As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Questions asking;
	how many payments for jobseeker’s allowance were terminated (a) as a result of employment and (b) for other reasons in (i) each London borough and (ii) the UK in each of the last five years. 53387
	The tables show a breakdown of the destination of off-flows from Job Seeker’s Allowance recorded by Jobcentre Plus in each year since January to December 2006.
	A copy of these tables will be placed in the House of Commons Library.
	This information comes from a form completed by Jobcentre Plus employees when terminating a claim. Although effort is made to complete the termination as accurately as possible for each claim, there is a significant proportion where the reason is not specific: such as ceased claiming, not known and failed to sign.
